westminster city school's sixth form
London
A Level Results Day 2024 saw significant improvement with the proportion of
students securing top grades (A* to B) rising by 6% to 58%. 83% of all grades
were A* to C (up 8%) providing a strong foundation as students go on to higher
education and the world of work.
A record number of students will start degree courses at universities including
UCL and Oxford. Over half of students have secured places at Russell Group or
top 25 ranked UK Universities, and they will complete their studies in subjects
ranging from Mechanical Engineering to PPE, and from Design to Psychology. The
number of students going on to study either Law or Medicine has increased,
showcasing the impact of the school’s Pathways Programmes. Other students hold
places on competitive and prestigious degree apprenticeships. Without doubt,
these destinations place Westminster City School as one of the most successful
6th Forms in London and this year’s outcomes are a key step in achieving our
goal of being the 6th Form of choice in the heart of London.
Within our Sixth Form, you'll enjoy more freedom and independence than your
previous years in education but our supportive learning environment means you
will be guided by highly skilled teachers in small classes, whilst our pastoral
support and extra-curricular activities help you develop into confident and
independent young men and women. Our facilities include a state-of-the-art Sixth
Form study suite and common room, with outdoor space. Our central London
location places you in the heart of the capital, within walking distance of the
Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
This ensures you can go beyond your A Level subjects by attending workshops or
lectures with business leaders, participating in conferences or research
programmes at top universities or simply visiting the many museums, galleries,
theatres, exhibitions and more that are found across London. Our location has
also helped us build strong links with nearby organisations, like Polar Capital,
an investment company near our Sixth Form. Thanks to generous funding from Polar
Capital, our sixth formers will benefit from a fantastic suite of further
support. All students joining our Year 12 will receive a free laptop and those
thinking of university study can apply for one of two generous university
bursaries, worth over £20,000 a year, for each year of future university study.
